Deep lemon. Floral, apricot, resinous nose. Of dry, rich, pure nectarine, mango palate. Medium bodied, long finish. 14% abv. Excellent wine, new to me, but should drink well for 5+ years.

Too young; night #1 was fine, but night #3, was complete. Some savory, Mike & Ike, soil, riverbank, persimmon, nectarine, hay, etc. The palate is medium-bodied,with faint r/s through the middle; actually finishes pretty dry, and (on night #3) pretty long. A shame if you're going to PnP this any time soon, as it needs several years, or a few days after a double decant. The 14,0% is resolved; thru 2028. Chapeau. recommended+

This was a little more off-dry than I expected but still had a lot of grit to it. A food, as opposed to a sipping wine. Without something solid to offset the sweetness, it would be easy to see this becoming a little cloying. Paired very nicely with panko crusted salmon and herbed couscous with garlic and pine nuts.
